One of the best is dead
 

Ed Bradley died today of leukemia at age 65. He was one of the best newspeople out there, and one of the few journalistic stars who deserved that accolade.

And as a personal note, he was a helluva guy. Ed will be missed.

Oh, how sad. I wasn't aware he was ill. He was one of the more genuine-seeming journalists on 60 Minutes over the years. I'm sure he will be missed by many.

He represented the best in news journalism. I am saddened by his loss.

Wow...had no idea...I used to enjoy his reports on 60 Minutes.

Yes this is to bad. He was one of the last, honest news men around.

Well, that's pretty sad. They don't come much better.

60 Minutes will be running a special edition for Ed this Sunday.

I've seen so many of Mr. Bradley's reports over the years on 60 minutes and have sometimes disagreed with his assessments, but in the end, he was a great reporter, and a good newsman. May angels speed him to his rest.

his death even reached us here in oz. though i didnt know who he was till now, he commanded respect from everyone in the journalism world.
